new at home

[travisg]

I've always been into nudity in my head, but have recently started around the house. How do I broach the subject with my 16 and 12 year old sons. Wife seems OK on the subject.

You could just tell them that you are interested in going naked in the home. If they are ill-at-ease with it, you could tell them when and where you will be naked in the house.

Don't expect immediate acceptance, especially from the 16 year old. Also, hear them out as well. Listen to their concerns, if any, and maybe even work out a ritual where if they are going to bring friends over, they can warn you in advance so that you can get something on before they get home.

It's going to take a little give and take, especially at first, before they will become acclimated to your home nudity. But if you respect their wishes and wants, they will be more apt to respect your wishes and wants.

BobS ....Sounds like good advice.I have 12&15 yr old daughters And although we all see each other nude occassionally and accept it,I have not gone intentionally nude while any of the rest of the family are home, and cant really see it happening. I have to keep my Naturist tendencies in the closet.

I used to be a "closet nudist", until just recently, when I dicided to go nude in front of the family. I have two sons, 17 and 14. They are not too comfortable with it, so I wear a towel while inside the house, but when we go swimming, or doing anything outside, I am totally nude. They have accepted the fact, that while I am outdoors, they will see Dad in the buff. Mom really don't like the idea, but she has already accepted the fact that I will be discreet while inside, but outside, I will be nude. I will cover up when we have company (not too often), just to keep some sense of understanding. When the kids are gone, I am nude all the time, both inside and outside.
As stated in past threads, I have already contacted the neighbors and they are accepting to the fact I will be nude whenever I am outside. They did not object to my nudity, so I am able to do anything outside while in the buff. I have done yard work and cleaned the swimming pool, and so far, nobody has said anything. It's a great feeling knowing I can walk outside anytime, nude, and not have to worry about the neighbors. The only understanding I have, is if the neighbors has any company come over, and they should ask for me to cover up, I will gladly honor their request. Getting along with the neighbors has really helped.
